3 Good

I am not saying that Kaminey is bad, but it was not what we or atleast I had expected. The presentaion was very good, performences-brilliant. The visuals were stunnung and reminds us of the classic Pulp fiction, the sound and background score were simply amazing (especially, "Go charlie" theme... was "superb"). But the problem was with the plot. The Complex story line made the whole first half very slow. Three-Four stories going on simultaneusly. In every ten minutes, a new character was introduced and everything was messed up. The director was not successful to grab the audiece's attention. But in the second half, suddenly the movie picked up pace, as the story became clear. The punches were also far better in this half and all the characters became alive. However, there were loopholes. The different stories didn't connected strongly. Like, the hatred between the two brothers was not justified and so many other thngs were not made clear. Performance wise, Shahid Kapoor was brilliant as Charlie. Vishal proved that Shahid has much more caliber than what we have seen till date. But at the same time, Shahid was very ordinary as Guddu. Again the director should be blamed because he has not done proper justice in defining this character. There are some scenes between Guddu and Priyanka, which are unnecessarily long and boring that we wish them to end soon. Priyanka was fascinating in aamchi marathi accent and so as Amol Gupte. Find of the movie is Chandan Roy Sanyal as Mikhail. In his short chameo, he showed tremendous potential. The chemistry between him and Charlie was 100 times better than chemistry between Guddu and Sweety(No double meaning please). The scene between Bhope and Mikhail was the best scene in the movie. Overall, I would say it a somewhat over confident effort by Vishal Bharadwaj. Vishal, the reason I am saying this is because our expectations from you are much higher. It is like everytime sachin comes to bat, we expect him to score century. I know it is a very big comparison for a 4-5 old movie director, but your previous two movies has taken you to a certain level. So, atleast try to keep up that level.
